Abstract
Using an algebraic approach, we construct purely coherent and squeezed states for a set of exactly solvable quantum confined systems assuming a generalization of both the ladder-operator and the displacement-operator methods, showing the equivalence between the two procedures. We obtain the analogue of the displacement and the squeeze operators and study their basic relations and their connections with the properties of the purely coherent and squeezed states that they produce. In a second approach, we construct generalized squeezed coherent and intelligent states for these systems considering the successive action of the displacement and the squeeze operators (in the first case) and the combined action of these operators (in the second case). We apply the generalized approach for shape-invariant systems with potential parameters related by a translation and by a scaling and show that the presence of the generalizing functionals of the potential parameters in the formalism opens a large number of possibilities in the construction of these special quantum states.
